The Bathtub Test

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director how do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.

"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a
teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."

"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

"No." said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"


ARE YOU GOING TO PASS THIS ON, OR DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE ?

I'm still liking the bucket.
Do I get a bed with a view?

Turn on the faucet, then break the handle off. Then see what the answer is when the drain cannot empty the water fast enough.

[statjunk]

LOL. That was good.

HJ,

Happy go lucky patients get to roam around. Angry, frustrated patients get restraints!

Depends - what are they serving for breakfast tomorrow?

Bed with a view, and lakefront location...count me in.

Place bucket on head, hold spoon in hand at arm's length while standing in tub and say forcefully say "SPOOOOOOON!" then proceed to open drain with toes.

Whatever you do don't say "not in the face, not in the face!"

If the doctor has seen Monty Python's Holy Grail he'll let you go after he's done rolling on the floor laughing.

Otherwise you're in for a long stay.

We're all here because we're not all there.

We're all here because we're not all there.

That makes sense to me I think

Maybe I should put that as my quote for my signature. I like that or I'm just on a search for knowledge.

I ressemble that remark!
